[1178] It was dated Eutaw, Sept. 9, 1781 (London Gazette, Jan. 29-Feb. 2, 1782;) reprinted in whole or in part in Ann. Reg., 1782, Principal Occurrences, p. 7; Remembrancer, xiii. 152; Pol. Mag., iii. 108; Tarleton, 508; Gibbes, p. 136; etc., etc.
[1179] Cf. J. W. De Peyster in United Service (Sept. 1881; Harper's Mag., lxvii. 557); Lossing, ii. 699; Dawson, Carrington, etc. On the Eutaw flag, see R. Wilson in Lippincott's Mag., xvii. 311. Johnson (Greene, ii. 224) gives a plan of two stages of the battle, and it is reproduced by G. W. Greene (iii. 384). Carrington (p. 582) gives a minuter plan. Johnson (ii. 238) gives a map of the country between Eutaw and Charleston.
The journal of Captain Kirkwood, of the Delaware regiment, beginning at Germantown, Sept. 14, 1777, and giving the marches of that regiment in 1777, its course during the Southern campaign of 1780, with a table of the losses at Eutaw, Sept. 8, is in Sparks MSS., xxv. (also xlix. vol. 3). Greene's medal is given in Loubat.—Ed.
[1180] A notice of Laurens's career, by G. W. P. Custis, is in Littell's Graydon's Memoirs (Appendix, p. 472). See also Hartley's Heroes, 310.
[1181] Remembrancer, xv. 29; the latter is also in Corres. of the Rev., iii. 529. The Delaware troops took part in this action. Cf. C. P. Bennett in Penna. Mag., ix. 452 et seq. Major Bennett was a lieutenant in the regiment at the time. His account, however, was written fifty years after the war, and cannot be reconciled with contemporary narratives.
[1182] Cf. Life of Count Rumford, by George E. Ellis, pp. 123-131, and 666-668. There is absolutely nothing about Rumford's military career in Renwick's so-called Life of Benjamin Thomson, in Sparks's American Biography, xv. pp. 1-216. A most curious and insufficient reason for this omission is given on p. 59 of the same work.
[1183] See also "Journal of Captain John Davis" in Penna. Hist. Mag., v. 300, and Seymour's Journal in Ibid. vii. 390.
[1184] The Maryland Papers, too, contain several interesting letters, especially one from Roxburgh to Smallwood (p. 186), on the evacuation of Savannah. See also, with regard to the same event, Greene to the President of Congress, in Remembrancer, xv. 21.
[1185] Moultrie, Memoirs, ii. 343, has devoted considerable space to it. Cf. also Mag. Am. Hist., viii. 826.
[1186] Cf. especially on this last campaign Johnson's Greene, ii. 238-394, and Lee, Memoirs (2d edition), p. 378 et seq.
